All of these things you can learn to do for yourself! Hard Target Self Protection workshops do just that. Prepare you for if/when the time arises you have to talk your way out of a situation or perform physical violence to protect you and your loved ones.

In Workshop 1 - We will cover the introduction to assessing a potential altercation, carefully controlling the delicate situation to de-escalate or end the conflict in the shortest possible time for your safety.

We will cover

• Awareness - How to avoid the situation by simply being aware of possible hazards. When or where to be situated.
• Interpreting what is a potential threat. How to identify dangerous intent and maneuvering accordingly
• Proper communication to de-escalate or draw the right attention in public
• Non-threatening physical controlling techniques 
• Attacking the attack. Meeting the threat with the necessary violence.
• Fundamental striking with or without weapons
• hand fighting 
• grappling for the street (mat vs street have two very different goals

Almost all martial arts and self defense programs teach immediate destruction. They teach being in the fight. Our goal is to first avoid it, but meet conflict successfully if unavoidable.

The techniques used in this seminar stem from various martial arts - Pekiti Tirsia Kali (knife fighting), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & striking from Muay Thai, Krav, western boxing etc.

This workshop will be led by Guro Reny Ramos.  20 + years in various martial arts, Guro edged weapons specialist in Pekiti Tirsia  Kali with (PTK-SMF) BJJ Brown Belt and C-Tac Certified Instructor.
